Badlands National Park

grants visitors access to 244,000 acres of scenic landscapes, incredibly beautiful geological formations, and much more. The vast short grass prairies are home to a diverse array of wildlife, including the national mammal of the United States, the American bison and the endangered Black Footed ferret.

Once a prehistoric ocean,

Badlands National Park now contains one of the world’s richest fossil beds, preserved in layers of a grayish-black sedimentary rock called Pierre shale. Eventually the continental plates shifted, causing the land under the sea to rise and the water to retreat. Today, the colorful banding of the Badlands buttes is caused by fossilized soils; these soils tell researchers a great deal about the history of the Badlands.
